How to choose
Capacity in liters and towels
Capacity states how much a bucket holds, in liters and in towels. The Zadro holds 20 liters for 2 oversized towels, the Keenray holds 21 liters for 2 oversized towels, the MONRIKON holds 22 liters for 2 oversized towels, the JANVONP holds 40 liters for 3 oversized towels, and the StateRiver holds 12 mini towels or 12 facecloths. Match the towel count to your household, not just the liter figure.
Timers and auto shutoff
Timers set how long a warmer runs before it stops. The Zadro and MONRIKON use 15, 30, 45 or 60 minute settings, while the JANVONP uses 20, 40 or 60 minute settings with a 40 minute default. The Keenray runs up to 60 minutes of heating time. Auto shutoff ends the cycle on its own, so check that the timer range fits your routine.
Portability and placement
Weight and shape decide how easy a warmer is to move. The StateRiver weighs 2.35 lb with a compact 8.8 by 7.8 by 6.5 inch package, and the JANVONP weighs 4.5 lb and folds flat. The MONRIKON has a side handle and carrying strap. The Zadro and Keenray are larger buckets, so check their footprint against your floor space.
